Protein MODELS!

Let me know if you want to make a model of a protein and need help finding the amino acid sequence.

Here is an interesting one to start with: Bovine (cow) insulin
This is what used to be injected into diabetics before genetically engineered human insulin was available.

To find out the properties of each amino acid, look at this table in wikipedia

(they have included one extra amino acid - can you spot it?)
